About Helene L Taylor

Helene is remarkable. I was incredibly fortunate during my divorce proceedings to have the benefit of Helene’s exceptional legal knowledge, case analysis, coaching skills, and adept guidance in navigating settlement negotiations.

In the course of our work together, I saw Helene’s extraordinary capacities as both a creative and strategic big picture thinker and as an able and precise vetter of critical detail in settlement language. These capabilities made a huge difference in turning around my challenging case, and lessened the difficulty of the process immeasurably for me.

Throughout her involvement in my case Helene continually impressed me with the scope of her abilities, the caliber of her work, and the immensely helpful support she gave me. She has an exceptional work ethic, and skills to match it. I’m so glad to have hired her and to have had the huge benefit and pleasure of working with her. —A grateful client. 11/16/2018

Negotiation training with Roger Fisher, the director of The Harvard Negotiation Project and co-author of the books Getting to Yes: Negotiating Agreement Without Giving In, Getting Ready to Negotiate and Beyond Reason: Using Emotions as You Negotiate. Fisher teaches that conflict is not simply a ‘zero-sum’ game in which a fixed pie is divided through haggling or threats. Instead, he showed that by exploring underlying interests and being imaginative, parties could often expand the pie and create value. Fisher’s seminal contributions changed the way millions of people around the world approach negotiation and resolve disputes.
